Lidl Curry v Asda Curry

The Lidl (Newgate) is a larger pack

Head to head with two own brand curry noods. The Lidl own brand is called Newgate, which is misleading, but at least it has more noodles - 108g compared to Asda's 85g.

Ingredients are much the same, except that the Asda contains crushed dried chicken. The Asda is made in China - the Lidl doesn't give country of origin.

The dried noodles look more attractive in the Asda pack, while the seasoning pack (and the seasoning itself) looks more attractive in the Lidl pack.

The Lidl has plumper noodles, and this meant that the noodle wheat flavour tended to be slightly more prominent than the sauce. The Asda noods seemed more integrated. But, really, there is little in it. The flavours are very similar. I slightly preferred the Asda, my partner slightly preferred the Lidl. Given that the Asda contains chicken, I declare the Lidl noods the winner.
